Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Mike's Analysis:
The Suns' return to the playoffs begins with a tough first-round matchup against a Lakers team that dealt with injuries throughout the season. It took a clutch 3-pointer by LeBron James just to get past Golden State in the play-in tournament. The Suns posted a 27-9 home record during the regular season, including a 17-point win against Los Angeles in their only meeting in Phoenix. The Lakers very well could win this series, but I like the rested Suns to start it off with a victory.
